1. A reporter is responsible to his chief of staff. He is told to refer matters which involve decisions to the chief of staff.

2. But his chief of staff is not with him (a reporter) when he is reporting the proceedings of Parliament or some meeting, riots with him when he is interviewing an important person, not with him when he is reporting an event involving loss of life, a bushfire or a flood.

3. There the reporter is on his own, with nobody to turn to for advice. There he has to make his own decisions and shoulder responsibility. He must have a good deal of self-reliance and push and energy and initiative.

4. When young men and women enter journalism they enter an exciting field. Other professions and jobs have their excitement, their fascination, their frustrations. I cannot imagine any more rewarding way of life than journalism.

5. I must admit I am in no position to speak of the advantages and disadvantages of other professions, since I have never worked outside journalism. After 34 years in journalism I am still fascinated by the birth of the daily newspaper. Every day is a new day. Yesterday’s news is history.

6. Reporters, sub-editors, copy-boys, even editors, again begin the complex process of producing a newspaper. Reporters will cover assignments big and small within the next 24 hours. News from all over the world will come into the office in a never-ending stream through teletype machines.

7. Sub-editors will assess the value of stories and send a copy to the composing room.

8. Many editorial conferences will be held.

9. To an outsider it is confusion but page-proofs begin to appear.

10. Soon the presses are rolling, and another paper is on the streets. Soon reporters, sub-editors, copy-boys and editors start work again, and yet another edition of a newspaper is being produced.

1. The general assignment reporter is the backbone of any newspaper’s staff.

2. The requirements for the general assignment reporter are higher today than ever before.

3. He must have a wide knowledge of world affairs and a nose for the news.

4. The leg man, the guy who races to the scene of the crime and phones in notes to a rewrite man is disappearing now. These days most papers insist on reporters who can write their own stories, even if a rewrite man has to fix them up later.

5. The News Photographer has one of the most difficult jobs in journalism.

6. The reporter may observe an incident or a situation over a period of time. Even if it is only seconds: he then thinks over what he has seen, and writes his report.

7. The photographer must anticipate the key moment.

8. The photographer must have his camera poised to catch it. You cannot turn back time to recapture a missed moment.

9. The review of books, works of art, music, sport or politics for the press, and for the news media of the radio and television, has a number of functions to perform. The relative importance of these functions will always remain a matter of debate. There can perhaps be no final judgement on it.

10. We suggest that the main function of the Reviewer is to keep the reading public informed about views, opinions, achievements and novelties in different spheres of life. He provides, in other words, an information service.
